The owner of Water Tower Kitchen in Campbell has proposed a rooftop beer garden on Minnesota Avenue.
San Jose is not particularly known for its rooftop dining scene but nearly a year after the highly anticipated opening of Copita, downtown Willow Glen is poised to add another new concept.
Fukushima described the atmosphere he wanted to create as a place where “kids can have fun downstairs while parents can have a date night upstairs,” though he wants the restaurant to be family-friendly and doesn’t plan to impose age restrictions. Fukushima, a veteran restaurateur who also owns Water Tower Kitchen in Campbell and previously owned Blush Raw Bar in Downtown San Jose, said the new restaurant is named after his son and had ideas of creating concepts nearly a decade ago.
“I don’t see how six spaces are adequate for a restaurant,” said Laura Gahrahmat, owner of children’s bookstore Hicklebee’s. “The prior use for that building was a convenience store with people coming in and out. As a business owner with a building two doors down, there isn’t even adequate parking for full use of all the shops on Lincoln Avenue.”
“I’m aware of what neighbors go through and the challenges they have,” Fukushima said. “I’m going to do everything in our power to make sure that’s settled. We’re not here to be a one-off place. We’re going to need support and we’re going to support others as well.”Dear Abby: My wife is stressed by our daughter's bad-news boyfriendMiss Manners: They made a huge scene at the weddingAsking Eric: It's my first grandchild.
